According to Rob Campbell, Senior Vice President, Global Sales of the San Jose, California-based manufacturer of high efficiency, lightweight and flexible thin-film solar cells and modules, Italy is one of the “leading countries for solar”, reflecting the importance of attending SolarExpo this week.
SolarExpo also comes on the heels of recent news that former US Presidential candidate General Wesley K. Clark (USA, Retired) joined SoloPower’s Board of Directors as an independent director, and that the company’s next generation panel achieved an aperture area efficiency of 13.4%, a record for flexible copper, indium, gallium and (di)selenide (“CIGS”) based modules.
SoloPower is also in the midst of constructing and hiring for its state-of-the-art, high-volume manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon, which will begin commercial production later this year. SoloPower’s operations in Portland are ultimately expected to have a capacity of 400 MW and to bring 450 jobs to the local community.
